had inquired concerning the matter within
week, whether these vessels had been re
leased In accordance with The presidents
order. On inquiry # the department Of
justice 1t was found to the surprise Of the
secretary of state that, owing to some
misrepresentation or misconception OF the
presidents order, the vessels had not been
released. Thereupon the department of
justice Immediately renewed the orders for
their release and The fac, of this renewal
